I know that there isn't any voice option on MIDI.

However, there are are now voice synthesizers that sound much less
robotic than previously. I wondered if there was any work going on to
produce a MIDI-like standard for artificial singing voices.

Are there any good software generators of voice-like tones? I'm thinking
of the human voice as an instrument rather than as a communications
medium here.

O how I cried when Alice died
The day we were to have wed!
We never had our Roasted Duck
And now she's a Loaf of Bread!

At nights I weep an cannot sleep,
Moonlight to me recalls
I never saw her Waterfront
Nor she my Waterfalls
